Those Who Set The Ranks, Drawn up in Ranks, The Rangers — Amatul Rahman Omar Translation

They (having no access to the source of prophecy) cannot listen to (what goes on in) the exalted assembly (of the arch angels). They are reproached (for their false conjectures) from every side

Amatul Rahman Omar

Therefore, ask them (- your opponents) whether it is they (- the worldly people) who are harder in creation or those (spiritual beings) whom We have created. Them We have created out of adhesive sticking clay (so of firm and strong character)

Its produce is as though it were the heads of serpents

And Abraham also belonged to his (Noah's) school of thought

37:84

إِذۡ جَاۤءَ رَبَّهُۥ بِقَلۡبࣲ سَلِیمٍ ۝٨٤

(Recall the time) when he came to his Lord with a pure heart

37:93

فَرَاغَ عَلَیۡهِمۡ ضَرۡبَۢا بِٱلۡیَمِینِ ۝٩٣

Amatul Rahman Omar

He then came upon them hitting them hard with the right hand

farāgha ʿalayhim ḍarban bil-yamīn

37:94

فَأَقۡبَلُوۤا۟ إِلَیۡهِ یَزِفُّونَ ۝٩٤

Amatul Rahman Omar

(Hearing this news) the people came running to him

fa-aqbalū ilayhi yaziffūn

37:95

قَالَ أَتَعۡبُدُونَ مَا تَنۡحِتُونَ ۝٩٥

Amatul Rahman Omar

He said (to them), `You worship the things you have chiselled yourselves

qāla ataʿbudūna mā tanḥitūn

37:96

وَٱللَّهُ خَلَقَكُمۡ وَمَا تَعۡمَلُونَ ۝٩٦

Amatul Rahman Omar

`Whereas (it is) Allah (Who) has created you, but what is it that you are doing?

wal-lahu khalaqakum wamā taʿmalūn

37:97

قَالُوا۟ ٱبۡنُوا۟ لَهُۥ بُنۡیَـٰنࣰا فَأَلۡقُوهُ فِی ٱلۡجَحِیمِ ۝٩٧

Amatul Rahman Omar

(His opponents) said, `Build up a pyre for him and throw him into the blazing fire.

qālū ib'nū lahu bun'yānan fa-alqūhu fī l-jaḥīm

37:98

فَأَرَادُوا۟ بِهِۦ كَیۡدࣰا فَجَعَلۡنَـٰهُمُ ٱلۡأَسۡفَلِینَ ۝٩٨

Amatul Rahman Omar

Thus they designed a plan against him, but We made them to be the most humiliated

fa-arādū bihi kaydan fajaʿalnāhumu l-asfalīn

37:99

وَقَالَ إِنِّی ذَاهِبٌ إِلَىٰ رَبِّی سَیَهۡدِینِ ۝٩٩

Amatul Rahman Omar

(Abraham) said, `I shall go where my Lord bids me. He will surely guide me right (to the path leading to success in my mission).

waqāla innī dhāhibun ilā rabbī sayahdīn

37:100

رَبِّ هَبۡ لِی مِنَ ٱلصَّـٰلِحِینَ ۝١٠٠

Amatul Rahman Omar

(And he prayed,) `My Lord! grant me (an issue who is) of the righteous.

rabbi hab lī mina l-ṣāliḥīn

37:101

فَبَشَّرۡنَـٰهُ بِغُلَـٰمٍ حَلِیمࣲ ۝١٠١

Amatul Rahman Omar

So We gave him the good tidings of (the birth of) a wise and forbearing son

fabasharnāhu bighulāmin ḥalīmi

37:102

فَلَمَّا بَلَغَ مَعَهُ ٱلسَّعۡیَ قَالَ یَـٰبُنَیَّ إِنِّیۤ أَرَىٰ فِی ٱلۡمَنَامِ أَنِّیۤ أَذۡبَحُكَ فَٱنظُرۡ مَاذَا تَرَىٰۚ قَالَ یَـٰۤأَبَتِ ٱفۡعَلۡ مَا تُؤۡمَرُۖ سَتَجِدُنِیۤ إِن شَاۤءَ ٱللَّهُ مِنَ ٱلصَّـٰبِرِینَ ۝١٠٢

Amatul Rahman Omar

Now, when that (son, Ismail) was (old enough) to work along with him, (his father, Abraham) said, `My dear son! I have seen in a dream that I sacrifice you. So consider (it and tell me) what you think (of it).' (The son) said, `My dear father! do as you are commanded. If Allah will you will find me of the calm and steadfast.

37:103

فَلَمَّاۤ أَسۡلَمَا وَتَلَّهُۥ لِلۡجَبِینِ ۝١٠٣

Amatul Rahman Omar

Now, (it so happened) when both of them submitted themselves (to the will of God) and he (- Abraham) had laid him (- Ismail) down on his forehead

falammā aslamā watallahu lil'jabīn

37:104

وَنَـٰدَیۡنَـٰهُ أَن یَـٰۤإِبۡرَ ٰهِیمُ ۝١٠٤

Amatul Rahman Omar

We called out to him (saying), `O Abraham

wanādaynāhu an yāib'rāhīm

37:105

قَدۡ صَدَّقۡتَ ٱلرُّءۡیَاۤۚ إِنَّا كَذَ ٰلِكَ نَجۡزِی ٱلۡمُحۡسِنِینَ ۝١٠٥

Amatul Rahman Omar

`You have already fulfilled the vision.' That is how We reward those who perform excellent deeds

qad ṣaddaqta l-ru'yā innā kadhālika najzī l-muḥ'sinīn

37:106

إِنَّ هَـٰذَا لَهُوَ ٱلۡبَلَـٰۤؤُا۟ ٱلۡمُبِینُ ۝١٠٦

Amatul Rahman Omar

That was obviously a disciplinary test (crowned with a mighty reward,

inna hādhā lahuwa l-balāu l-mubīn

37:107

وَفَدَیۡنَـٰهُ بِذِبۡحٍ عَظِیمࣲ ۝١٠٧

Amatul Rahman Omar

And a great sacrifice was the ransom with which We redeemed him (- Ismail)

wafadaynāhu bidhib'ḥin ʿaẓīmi

37:108

وَتَرَكۡنَا عَلَیۡهِ فِی ٱلۡءَاخِرِینَ ۝١٠٨

Amatul Rahman Omar

And We left behind him (- Abraham) among the succeeding generations (the noble salutation to invoke blessings upon him)

wataraknā ʿalayhi fī l-ākhirīn

37:109

سَلَـٰمٌ عَلَىٰۤ إِبۡرَ ٰهِیمَ ۝١٠٩

Amatul Rahman Omar

`Peace be upon Abraham!

37:110

كَذَ ٰلِكَ نَجۡزِی ٱلۡمُحۡسِنِینَ ۝١١٠

Amatul Rahman Omar

Thus indeed do We reward those who perform excellent deeds

kadhālika najzī l-muḥ'sinīn

37:111

إِنَّهُۥ مِنۡ عِبَادِنَا ٱلۡمُؤۡمِنِینَ ۝١١١

Amatul Rahman Omar

Surely, he was (one) of Our believing servants

innahu min ʿibādinā l-mu'minīn

37:112

وَبَشَّرۡنَـٰهُ بِإِسۡحَـٰقَ نَبِیࣰّا مِّنَ ٱلصَّـٰلِحِینَ ۝١١٢

Amatul Rahman Omar

And We gave him (also) the good tidings of (the birth of) Isaac, a Prophet (and who is) one of the righteous

wabasharnāhu bi-is'ḥāqa nabiyyan mina l-ṣāliḥīn

37:113

وَبَـٰرَكۡنَا عَلَیۡهِ وَعَلَىٰۤ إِسۡحَـٰقَۚ وَمِن ذُرِّیَّتِهِمَا مُحۡسِنࣱ وَظَالِمࣱ لِّنَفۡسِهِۦ مُبِینࣱ ۝١١٣

Amatul Rahman Omar

And We bestowed (Our) blessings on him (- Ismail) and on Isaac. And among the progeny of both there are (some persons) who perform excellent deeds and (also some) who are clearly unjust to themselves

wabāraknā ʿalayhi waʿalā is'ḥāqa wamin dhurriyyatihimā muḥ'sinun waẓālimun linafsihi mubīnu

37:114

وَلَقَدۡ مَنَنَّا عَلَىٰ مُوسَىٰ وَهَـٰرُونَ ۝١١٤

Amatul Rahman Omar

We did bestow (Our) favours on Moses and Aaron

walaqad manannā ʿalā mūsā wahārūn

37:115

وَنَجَّیۡنَـٰهُمَا وَقَوۡمَهُمَا مِنَ ٱلۡكَرۡبِ ٱلۡعَظِیمِ ۝١١٥

Amatul Rahman Omar

We delivered them both and their people from the great distress

wanajjaynāhumā waqawmahumā mina l-karbi l-ʿaẓīm

37:116

وَنَصَرۡنَـٰهُمۡ فَكَانُوا۟ هُمُ ٱلۡغَـٰلِبِینَ ۝١١٦

Amatul Rahman Omar

And We came to their help (against the people of Pharaoh). So it was they who gained clear supremacy

wanaṣarnāhum fakānū humu l-ghālibīn

37:117

وَءَاتَیۡنَـٰهُمَا ٱلۡكِتَـٰبَ ٱلۡمُسۡتَبِینَ ۝١١٧

Amatul Rahman Omar

And We gave them both the Manifesting Book

waātaynāhumā l-kitāba l-mus'tabīn

37:118

وَهَدَیۡنَـٰهُمَا ٱلصِّرَ ٰطَ ٱلۡمُسۡتَقِیمَ ۝١١٨

Amatul Rahman Omar

And We guided them both to the right and straight path

37:119

وَتَرَكۡنَا عَلَیۡهِمَا فِی ٱلۡءَاخِرِینَ ۝١١٩

Amatul Rahman Omar

And We left behind both of them (a blessed salutation) among the generations to come

wataraknā ʿalayhimā fī l-ākhirīn

37:120

سَلَـٰمٌ عَلَىٰ مُوسَىٰ وَهَـٰرُونَ ۝١٢٠

37:121

إِنَّا كَذَ ٰلِكَ نَجۡزِی ٱلۡمُحۡسِنِینَ ۝١٢١

That is how do We reward the performers of excellent deeds

37:122

إِنَّهُمَا مِنۡ عِبَادِنَا ٱلۡمُؤۡمِنِینَ ۝١٢٢

Amatul Rahman Omar

Surely, they were both among Our believing servants

37:123

وَإِنَّ إِلۡیَاسَ لَمِنَ ٱلۡمُرۡسَلِینَ ۝١٢٣

Amatul Rahman Omar

Verily, Elias was (also) one of the Messengers

wa-inna il'yāsa lamina l-mur'salīn

37:124

إِذۡ قَالَ لِقَوۡمِهِۦۤ أَلَا تَتَّقُونَ ۝١٢٤

Amatul Rahman Omar

(Recall the time) when he said to his people, `Will you not guard against evil (deeds)

idh qāla liqawmihi alā tattaqūn

37:125

أَتَدۡعُونَ بَعۡلࣰا وَتَذَرُونَ أَحۡسَنَ ٱلۡخَـٰلِقِینَ ۝١٢٥

Amatul Rahman Omar

`Do you call upon Ba`l (- the sun-god), and forsake the Best Creator

atadʿūna baʿlan watadharūna aḥsana l-khāliqīn

37:126

ٱللَّهَ رَبَّكُمۡ وَرَبَّ ءَابَاۤىِٕكُمُ ٱلۡأَوَّلِینَ ۝١٢٦

Amatul Rahman Omar

`Allah, your Lord and the Lord of your forefathers of old.

al-laha rabbakum warabba ābāikumu l-awalīn

37:127

فَكَذَّبُوهُ فَإِنَّهُمۡ لَمُحۡضَرُونَ ۝١٢٧

Amatul Rahman Omar

But they cried lies to him and they will surely be brought (before God to account for their deeds)

fakadhabūhu fa-innahum lamuḥ'ḍarūn

37:128

إِلَّا عِبَادَ ٱللَّهِ ٱلۡمُخۡلَصِینَ ۝١٢٨

Amatul Rahman Omar

Different, however, shall be the case of the chosen servants of Allah, the purified ones

37:129

وَتَرَكۡنَا عَلَیۡهِ فِی ٱلۡءَاخِرِینَ ۝١٢٩

And We left behind him (- Elias) among the succeeding generations (the blessed salutation to be invoked upon him)

إِنَّا كَذَ ٰلِكَ نَجۡزِی ٱلۡمُحۡسِنِینَ ۝١٣١

Amatul Rahman Omar

That is how We reward the performers of excellent deeds

37:132

إِنَّهُۥ مِنۡ عِبَادِنَا ٱلۡمُؤۡمِنِینَ ۝١٣٢

Amatul Rahman Omar

Surely, he was (one) of Our believing servants

innahu min ʿibādinā l-mu'minīn

37:133

وَإِنَّ لُوطࣰا لَّمِنَ ٱلۡمُرۡسَلِینَ ۝١٣٣

Amatul Rahman Omar

And verily, Lot was (also one) of the Messengers

wa-inna lūṭan lamina l-mur'salīn

37:134

إِذۡ نَجَّیۡنَـٰهُ وَأَهۡلَهُۥۤ أَجۡمَعِینَ ۝١٣٤

Amatul Rahman Omar

(Recall the time) when We delivered him and his followers all together

idh najjaynāhu wa-ahlahu ajmaʿīn

37:135

إِلَّا عَجُوزࣰا فِی ٱلۡغَـٰبِرِینَ ۝١٣٥

Amatul Rahman Omar

Except an old woman (who) was among those who stayed behind (and did not go with those delivered)

illā ʿajūzan fī l-ghābirīn

37:136

ثُمَّ دَمَّرۡنَا ٱلۡءَاخَرِینَ ۝١٣٦

Amatul Rahman Omar

And We utterly destroyed the rest

thumma dammarnā l-ākharīn

37:137

وَإِنَّكُمۡ لَتَمُرُّونَ عَلَیۡهِم مُّصۡبِحِینَ ۝١٣٧

Amatul Rahman Omar

And you surely pass by them, (their ruins sometimes), in the morning

wa-innakum latamurrūna ʿalayhim muṣ'biḥīn

37:138

وَبِٱلَّیۡلِۚ أَفَلَا تَعۡقِلُونَ ۝١٣٨

Amatul Rahman Omar

And (sometimes) by night. Do you not still make use of (your) understanding (and take heed)

wabi-al-layli afalā taʿqilūn

37:139

وَإِنَّ یُونُسَ لَمِنَ ٱلۡمُرۡسَلِینَ ۝١٣٩

Amatul Rahman Omar

And surely, Jonah (also) was (one) of the Messengers

wa-inna yūnusa lamina l-mur'salīn

37:140

إِذۡ أَبَقَ إِلَى ٱلۡفُلۡكِ ٱلۡمَشۡحُونِ ۝١٤٠

Amatul Rahman Omar

(Recall the time) when he fled (from his people) towards the fully laden ship

idh abaqa ilā l-ful'ki l-mashḥūn

37:141

فَسَاهَمَ فَكَانَ مِنَ ٱلۡمُدۡحَضِینَ ۝١٤١

Amatul Rahman Omar

So he was with those (crew) who cast lots (on board of the ill-fated ship, and his name was among those who were to be thrown overboard in order to keep the ship light and well-balanced on account of the storm) and so he was (also) of those who were cast off (in the sea)

fasāhama fakāna mina l-mud'ḥaḍīn

37:142

فَٱلۡتَقَمَهُ ٱلۡحُوتُ وَهُوَ مُلِیمࣱ ۝١٤٢

Amatul Rahman Omar

Then (it came about that) a big fish took him in its mouth while he was reproaching (himself)

fal-taqamahu l-ḥūtu wahuwa mulīmu

37:143

فَلَوۡلَاۤ أَنَّهُۥ كَانَ مِنَ ٱلۡمُسَبِّحِینَ ۝١٤٣

Amatul Rahman Omar

Had he not been of those who glorify (God

falawlā annahu kāna mina l-musabiḥīn

37:144

لَلَبِثَ فِی بَطۡنِهِۦۤ إِلَىٰ یَوۡمِ یُبۡعَثُونَ ۝١٤٤

Amatul Rahman Omar

He would have surely remained in its belly till the time people are raised up (after their death)

lalabitha fī baṭnihi ilā yawmi yub'ʿathūn

37:145

۞ فَنَبَذۡنَـٰهُ بِٱلۡعَرَاۤءِ وَهُوَ سَقِیمࣱ ۝١٤٥

Amatul Rahman Omar

Then (it came to pass) that We cast him on a bare and wide tract of land and he was completely worn out and sick

fanabadhnāhu bil-ʿarāi wahuwa saqīmu

37:146

وَأَنۢبَتۡنَا عَلَیۡهِ شَجَرَةࣰ مِّن یَقۡطِینࣲ ۝١٤٦

Amatul Rahman Omar

And We caused a plant (of the gourd type) bearing large-size fruit but the creeper of slender stem to grow near him

wa-anbatnā ʿalayhi shajaratan min yaqṭīni

37:147

وَأَرۡسَلۡنَـٰهُ إِلَىٰ مِا۟ئَةِ أَلۡفٍ أَوۡ یَزِیدُونَ ۝١٤٧

Amatul Rahman Omar

And We sent him (back as a Messenger at Nineveh) to a people hundred thousand strong, rather they were even more

wa-arsalnāhu ilā mi-ati alfin aw yazīdūn

37:148

فَءَامَنُوا۟ فَمَتَّعۡنَـٰهُمۡ إِلَىٰ حِینࣲ ۝١٤٨

Amatul Rahman Omar

They all believed (in him) so We provided them gains till the end of their lives

faāmanū famattaʿnāhum ilā ḥīni

37:149

فَٱسۡتَفۡتِهِمۡ أَلِرَبِّكَ ٱلۡبَنَاتُ وَلَهُمُ ٱلۡبَنُونَ ۝١٤٩

Amatul Rahman Omar

Now ask these (disbelievers) whether daughters are for your Lord (as they assert), and sons for themselves

fa-is'taftihim alirabbika l-banātu walahumu l-banūn

37:150

أَمۡ خَلَقۡنَا ٱلۡمَلَـٰۤىِٕكَةَ إِنَـٰثࣰا وَهُمۡ شَـٰهِدُونَ ۝١٥٠

Amatul Rahman Omar

Or did We create the angels as females (in their presence) while they were witnesses (of their birth)

am khalaqnā l-malāikata ināthan wahum shāhidūn

37:151

أَلَاۤ إِنَّهُم مِّنۡ إِفۡكِهِمۡ لَیَقُولُونَ ۝١٥١

Amatul Rahman Omar

Beware! it is (one) of their fabrications that they say

alā innahum min if'kihim layaqūlūn

37:152

وَلَدَ ٱللَّهُ وَإِنَّهُمۡ لَكَـٰذِبُونَ ۝١٥٢

Amatul Rahman Omar

`Allah has begotten (those as His children).' They are liars, of course

37:153

أَصۡطَفَى ٱلۡبَنَاتِ عَلَى ٱلۡبَنِینَ ۝١٥٣

Amatul Rahman Omar

Has He chosen daughters in preference to sons

aṣṭafā l-banāti ʿalā l-banīn

37:154

مَا لَكُمۡ كَیۡفَ تَحۡكُمُونَ ۝١٥٤

Amatul Rahman Omar

What is the matter with you? How (wrong) you judge

mā lakum kayfa taḥkumūn

37:155

أَفَلَا تَذَكَّرُونَ ۝١٥٥

Amatul Rahman Omar

Will you take no heed

afalā tadhakkarūn

37:156

أَمۡ لَكُمۡ سُلۡطَـٰنࣱ مُّبِینࣱ ۝١٥٦

Amatul Rahman Omar

Or have you a clear authority (in your defence for your false beliefs)

am lakum sul'ṭānun mubīnu

37:157

فَأۡتُوا۟ بِكِتَـٰبِكُمۡ إِن كُنتُمۡ صَـٰدِقِینَ ۝١٥٧

Amatul Rahman Omar

If so then come out with your (authoritative) scripture if you are truthful

37:158

وَجَعَلُوا۟ بَیۡنَهُۥ وَبَیۡنَ ٱلۡجِنَّةِ نَسَبࣰاۚ وَلَقَدۡ عَلِمَتِ ٱلۡجِنَّةُ إِنَّهُمۡ لَمُحۡضَرُونَ ۝١٥٨

Amatul Rahman Omar

And they have set up a kinship between Him and the jinn (- strong and mighty men), whereas the jinn know fully well that they themselves shall be called to account for their deeds

wajaʿalū baynahu wabayna l-jinati nasaban walaqad ʿalimati l-jinatu innahum lamuḥ'ḍarūn

37:159

سُبۡحَـٰنَ ٱللَّهِ عَمَّا یَصِفُونَ ۝١٥٩

Amatul Rahman Omar

Holy is Allah, far beyond the things they attribute (to Him)

sub'ḥāna l-lahi ʿammā yaṣifūn

37:160

إِلَّا عِبَادَ ٱللَّهِ ٱلۡمُخۡلَصِینَ ۝١٦٠

Amatul Rahman Omar

But the chosen servants of Allah, the purified ones (attribute nothing derogatory to Him)

illā ʿibāda l-lahi l-mukh'laṣīn

37:161

فَإِنَّكُمۡ وَمَا تَعۡبُدُونَ ۝١٦١

Amatul Rahman Omar

(Disbelievers!) neither you of course, nor the things you worship

fa-innakum wamā taʿbudūn

37:162

مَاۤ أَنتُمۡ عَلَیۡهِ بِفَـٰتِنِینَ ۝١٦٢

Amatul Rahman Omar

None of you can mislead anyone against Him

37:163

إِلَّا مَنۡ هُوَ صَالِ ٱلۡجَحِیمِ ۝١٦٣

Amatul Rahman Omar

Excepting (only) the person who is (himself) going to enter Hell

illā man huwa ṣāli l-jaḥīm

37:164

وَمَا مِنَّاۤ إِلَّا لَهُۥ مَقَامࣱ مَّعۡلُومࣱ ۝١٦٤

(The righteous say,) `Each one of us has his assigned place

وَإِنَّا لَنَحۡنُ ٱلصَّاۤفُّونَ ۝١٦٥

Amatul Rahman Omar

`And most surely we are the ones who stand ranged in rows (attending to the command of God)

37:166

وَإِنَّا لَنَحۡنُ ٱلۡمُسَبِّحُونَ ۝١٦٦

Amatul Rahman Omar

`Verily, we are the ones who glorify Him (and sing His praise)

wa-innā lanaḥnu l-musabiḥūn

37:167

وَإِن كَانُوا۟ لَیَقُولُونَ ۝١٦٧

Amatul Rahman Omar

And surely, these (infidels) used to say

wa-in kānū layaqūlūn

37:168

لَوۡ أَنَّ عِندَنَا ذِكۡرࣰا مِّنَ ٱلۡأَوَّلِینَ ۝١٦٨

Amatul Rahman Omar

`Had there been with us an exhortation from the people of old

`We would surely have been the chosen servants of Allah, the purified ones.

Amatul Rahman Omar

But (now) they have disbelieved in this (Book, the Qur'an when it has come to them). So they will soon come to know (the consequences of their disbelief)

fakafarū bihi fasawfa yaʿlamūn

37:171

وَلَقَدۡ سَبَقَتۡ كَلِمَتُنَا لِعِبَادِنَا ٱلۡمُرۡسَلِینَ ۝١٧١

Amatul Rahman Omar

And We have already given Our word (of promise) to Our servants, the Apostles

walaqad sabaqat kalimatunā liʿibādinā l-mur'salīn

37:172

إِنَّهُمۡ لَهُمُ ٱلۡمَنصُورُونَ ۝١٧٢

Amatul Rahman Omar

That it is they alone who shall receive Our help (against the infidels)

innahum lahumu l-manṣūrūn

37:173

وَإِنَّ جُندَنَا لَهُمُ ٱلۡغَـٰلِبُونَ ۝١٧٣

Amatul Rahman Omar

And (that) it is Our armies that shall gain clear supremacy

wa-inna jundanā lahumu l-ghālibūn

37:174

فَتَوَلَّ عَنۡهُمۡ حَتَّىٰ حِینࣲ ۝١٧٤

Amatul Rahman Omar

So turn away from them until a time (of your success)

37:175

وَأَبۡصِرۡهُمۡ فَسَوۡفَ یُبۡصِرُونَ ۝١٧٥

Amatul Rahman Omar

And watch (what happens to) them, and they (too) will soon see (their own doom)

wa-abṣir'hum fasawfa yub'ṣirūn

37:176

أَفَبِعَذَابِنَا یَسۡتَعۡجِلُونَ ۝١٧٦

Amatul Rahman Omar

Do they seek to hasten on Our punishment

فَإِذَا نَزَلَ بِسَاحَتِهِمۡ فَسَاۤءَ صَبَاحُ ٱلۡمُنذَرِینَ ۝١٧٧
